Hi, On some machine with 2 identical disks, I want to copy everything on the first drive to the second drive (mirror copy). The disks are da0 and da1. I'm thinking of using: dd if=/dev/da0 of=/dev/da1 bs=8192 Is this OK? The purpose of this is to later remove the second hard disk, and use it on another machine (like installing using Norton's Ghost). Both machines are identical, I just don't want to do two separate installations.
